The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) was formally established in September 1948 in Cambridge, England, with its headquarters in Versailles, France. The current chairman is Professor Martha Fagadu.

IFLA is a democratic, non-profit, non-political and non-governmental organization.

The main tasks of IFLA are: to promote and develop landscape architecture without endangering the global natural ecosystem, and to provide theory, technology and experience for international change; Develop higher standards of landscape architecture education and industry in the world, especially in countries and regions with relatively backward landscape architecture specialty; Through research and activities, we strive to combine art, science and technology and apply them to the design, planning and development of landscape architecture, so that the balance of the natural environment will not be destroyed.

IFLA divides the world into three regions: the eastern region, the central region and the western region, and each region is led by a vice chairman. In addition to an annual meeting, various regions also independently carry out various academic exchange activities. IFLA has some branches, including Historical Landscape and Gardens, Technical Terminology Translation Committee, International Education Committee, World Congress Committee and Competition Committee. The periodical publication is IFLA News.
